Looking for the best baby Halloween costume? Do you want something that will make her look cute? Well, that’s the easy part. Babies always look adorable in any costume, don’t they?
Your baby doesn’t know how to trick or treat yet, but having him at the Halloween party or taking him with you to the Halloween parade is still fun and exciting. Unlike selecting costumes for adults or older children, there are different things to consider when it comes to baby Halloween costumes.
Is your baby comfortable in the costume?
The baby will likely be in the costume for several hours and most of their body will be covered. It is important to choose a costume that is made of high-quality fabric. Generally, 100% cotton is the best choice, as it tends to be softer and more breathable than other materials. Make sure that the costume is not too tight and that the baby can move freely and easily.
Also pay close attention to where the buttons, zippers, Velcro, or snaps are located. Sometimes these items and other costume accessories can create discomfort for the baby.
Is the costume safe for babies?
Are there any small parts or accessories that could present a choking hazard? Any dangling parts that may, despite looking pretty, cause strangulation? Make sure that the baby cannot tear or swallow anything from the costume. You’d think manufacturers who make baby Halloween costumes would have thought of these things, but you might be in for a nasty surprise.

Masks are fine for young children, but should not be part of a baby’s Halloween costume. You want to be able to see the baby’s face at all times for safety reasons.
How easy is it to change diapers?
As mentioned, the baby will be in a costume for several hours. Since they need to change diapers frequently, it’s important that the costume comes with crotch snaps so she can easily change her diaper.
Now that we’ve got the important stuff out of the way, it’s time to decide on the styles. There are always plenty of selections when it comes to baby Halloween costumes. A good place to start is last year’s costume best-seller list. This will give you some general ideas.
Mickey or Minnie Mouse costumes have been a favorite for a long time. The Tulip Fairy costume will turn your little one into an angel. How about the Ladybug Bunting costume, always a lady and a cute little bugger?
If you have a little boy, superhero costumes like Superman, Batman, Spiderman are great options for him. Other options include Star Wars Yoda or Darth Vader. For little girls, the Dragonfly and Strawberry costumes are new this year. Star Wars Princess Leia and Sugar Plum Fairy also look absolutely fabulous.
If this is your baby’s first Halloween, it would be so much fun for you as a parent to pick out a costume for her and show her off at the Halloween party. Be sure to browse this site for more exciting newborn, infant, and toddler costume ideas and selections.
One last thing. Remember: popular costumes sold out very quickly. Don’t wait until the last minute. If you see something you want, be sure to order it ahead of time to avoid disappointment.
